You Will Do As I Say! (Or Prepare to Suffer My Wrath!)

Ah, yes, the joys of the coffee-cake muffin. [Fun fact! Minnesota (blueberry), Massachusetts (corn) and New York (apple) have state muffins.] We grudgingly frequent a joint on one of the "hipper" aves in Brooklyn. Said muffin place, at a glance, appears to have been decorated by The Man With The Big Yellow Hat. It's hideous, and a tremendous eyesore, but their output is the shiiiiiiizzzzzzzzzzzzzzznit.

In other news, we passive-aggressively order you to visit Notions' Oceans. How can you argue with this?

Over the years, several Indian hotties have turned our world upside down. In the best possible way.

We find the glorious naivete of the second sentence kinda sweet, kinda darling. (as if there could be any other way?) But, of greater import, the proprietor of NO is -- as we say in our native Queens -- 'good fucking people.'

And in related news, this exchange apparently occurred somewhere in our vicinity:

Hasid: Excuse me, are you Jewish?
Hipster: Excuse me, are you Muslim?

[The spellcheck for this blog refused to acknowledge two words: shiiiiiiizzzzzzzzzzzzzzznit (fine) and fucking (wha?)]
